Thanks internet for enabling my book addiction. Now I’ll never be able to stop reading. Thanks to my friend @MaddieHarrison3 I now have a way of continuing read for ever and ever and ever….
Well you get the idea.
If you’re a bookworm like me–go ahaed. Step into my web….
What are some of the things that fuel your reading addiction?
Hymn book? Her book?

Ovester? Semester?
Enid (from Legally Blonde): So I'm petitioning to have next term be referred to as the winter "ovester".
Potaytohs? Potahtohs?
What’s behind a name and why after all these years are we still having discussions about nomenclature as it pertains to gender integration—especially in the most rapidly evolving arena in our society, technology?
Damned if I know. Although it might just unleash my inner riot grrrl.
It’s only Tuesday and yet I feel incredibly tempted to fly off with my imagination to some far off exotic land.
**sigh**
T-minus a few days until the weekend and its limitless potential for bookworming. Meanwhile here’s a nice little image to sustain you courtesy of the Library of Congress. Enjoy!
Bookworming it...at sea!

As hard as I might try in somethings. There are many times I have to admit that someone has done something better than me. Hooray for Hollybook and Mooks! Check out this other WordPress blog featuring movie-book hybrid reviews. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
NYPL has a website called the Stereogranimator that allows you to make animated versions of archived images. History coming alive. Check it out!
Today I fogot my coffee mug with freshly brewed coffee at home.
I did the thing any rational human being would do.
I bought coffee on my way to work.
Why?
Because I need coffee–just like a lab rat needs crack…or experimental drugs.
Okay so I have to put this out there because possession of this knowledge is poisoning me slowly but surely.
As I was on Goodreads rating books I had already read and making note of the ones I’d like to read there was one book that came to mind that I started but never finished (as I so often do). It was one of those situations that likens those romantic movies where there are two perfectly matched people that meet on a boat or a park or store or something and then somehow lose each other tragically without knowing or remembering each others names. The young lovers have to rely on a fortuitous turn of events or some sort of benevolent serendipity to be reuinited.
That’s not what the book’s about but it’s sort of my story with this book. Book clues after the jump:
Well, they snuck this one by us! Several Alert Janeites wrote to let us know that Shannon Hale's book Austenland will be adapted into a film, which begins shooting this week. This is apparently not a drill. The film will be directed by Jerusha Hess (who wrote the screenplay for Napoleon Dynamite and co-wrote this screenplay with Hale) and the cast includes Keri Russell, JJ Feild, Bret McKenzie (
Well here we go again, another 53 weeks lie ahead of us.
If anything this next period will be more difficult than the first, if only because doing something again is often more difficult than setting out to do something the first time.
They say you should start as you mean to go on, so at the last minute on the Sunday afternoon (before the light faded), I walked up to the Belvedere Palace to shoot this.

It’s a typical Houstonian experience. Run home by the torrential flooding on my way to work.
